Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Inside the prison cell, Li Ping slowly awoke.

His limbs were bound to a wooden table.

The first thought that flashed through Li Ping's mind as he woke was one of alarm.

It's over! The egg is in!

However, after a full three seconds of panic, Li Ping quickly regained his composure.

He could feel that he was still intact.

But the current situation was obviously still extremely bad, and now there was no room for survival.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ping completely gave up hope, lay on the table, and shouted loudly: "Fang Zheng Yi! You damned dog thief, have the guts to kill me!"

Fang Zheng Yi mocked from outside the prison door: "This Marquis is right here."

"What are you shouting for, little bean sprout?"

Little bean sprout?

Li Ping instantly reacted, his face flushed with blood.

He raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice.

Fang Zheng Yi was sitting outside the prison door with a half-smile, with tea and snacks beside him, looking extremely leisurely.

"Boy, now I know why you're so perverted, you're not even left with much after the public allocation?"

"An egg bigger than a chicken, it's really rare."

As Fang Zheng Yi spoke, he made a gesture that would enrage the people of H Country.

"Ahhhhh! ! !" Li Ping was furious and struggled violently.

"Stop yelling, it's already a great favor that this official hasn't used torture on you. Now I'll give you another chance, I hope you can cooperate well with this Marquis, this Marquis will not mistreat you."

Fang Zheng Yi played with the teacup in his hand, speaking casually.

"What is your relationship with Prince Wu, and what is the current situation with Sangjak, tell me."

He knows! How is that possible?

Li Ping stopped shouting immediately, sweat breaking out on his forehead: "What are you talking about? If you want to kill me, give me a quick death, why speak nonsense and insult me here?"

"Okay, then this Marquis will reveal some more information to you. You have already contacted the Brotherhood, right? Actually... that is just a branch of my overseas forces."

Fang Zheng Yi's face was filled with a smile.

Fate is truly wonderful.

Who would actively lead a spy into their home? It was truly an unexpected coincidence.

Li Ping's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the roof, looking lifeless.

His chest was already starting to be overwhelmed by panic.

The Brotherhood is actually Fang Zheng Yi's people, then many of the Emperor's plans might be leaked to Fang Zheng Yi in advance.

What if there is a war in the future...

Thinking about it, tears streamed down the corners of Li Ping's eyes.

The feelings in his heart were indescribable, hatred, frustration, worry, and more.

Seeing him crying silently, Fang Zheng Yi said: "How is it? Have you thought about it? Tell me everything you know, and you still have a chance to live, consider it making amends for your crimes."

After a long time, Li Ping still didn't say a word.

Fang Zheng Yi decided to change direction: "Okay, let's not mention Prince Wu for now, let's talk about personal matters between you and me."

"Before, on the ship, you were preparing to assassinate the Emperor, why did only you come to assassinate this Marquis? Looking at your performance, it seems that there is some deep hatred between this Marquis and you?"

Hearing his question, Li Ping finally spoke again, his voice a little hoarse, filled with hatred: "You don't recognize me?"

"That year on the ship, you locked me alone in a small room and abused me... I was only eleven years old that year!"

Huh?

Fang Zheng Yi frowned, lost in thought.

Saying that he abused an eleven-year-old child is too much bullsh*t!

Isn't this insulting my character?

However, it's not like he's never bullied children before. Back when he was begging for food, there were actually quite a few local little beggar kids in Hengjiang City.

The local little beggar kids were quite united, organized, and wild, and they fiercely competed with him for business.

Back then, he brought the old, weak, women, and children to beg for food, afraid that he couldn't beat this group of little beggar kids, so he specially hired a few strong thugs, and he took the lead in kicking over a dozen children, and the leader of the organized child beggars was also overthrown by him, and later they were all incorporated into the team.

But that was a group fight, not locking people in a small room and beating them, that would be too tasteless!

He thought for a long time but couldn't remember anything.

Fang Zheng Yi simply said: "Forgot."

"Beast! You f*cking beast! ! !" Li Ping cried loudly, tears blurring his face, his spirit suffering a critical blow.

A childhood shadow, a lifetime of nightmare, but the other person doesn't even know who he is.

The greatest insult in life is nothing more than this.

"Back then... I just wanted that pocket watch, why! Isn't it just a watch! ! !" Li Ping shouted hoarsely, his voice filled with sorrow and hatred, making people shudder, "You broke me! I won't let you go even as a ghost, and your son, I will make your whole family die a horrible death!"

Pocket watch?

A lightning bolt flashed through his brain, Fang Zheng Yi suddenly remembered!

The first pocket watch was given to him by Prince Wu, back then... in order to create an opportunity to escape, he seemed to have indeed abused a child.

Back then, the guard seemed to call that child, the Fifth Prince.

"You are Prince Wu's son?" Fang Zheng Yi immediately stepped forward to ask.

Li Ping laughed in anger: "You finally remembered? Now that you know, it doesn't matter, my life has long been ruined by you, only one of us can live, I will never tell you anything even if I die!"

I was too ruthless back then, I broke a child's little thing, creating a royal eunuch?

Although he seemed quite naughty back then, what I did was indeed a bit too much...

Fang Zheng Yi felt ashamed.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Actually, it's your father's fault back then, if he hadn't caught me, this wouldn't have happened, right? Besides, putting aside the facts, don't you have any responsibility at all? If your father gave me the pocket watch and you didn't come to me to ask for it, nothing would have happened."

"And my reputation has also been damaged, it's so unpleasant to say I harmed a child, I'm the one who was hurt."

"You! Still! Dare! To! Pass! The! Buck?!"

Fang Zheng Yi coughed twice, embarrassed, and said: "Is it possible that it has nothing to do with me, you were just born this small... or your whole family is this small?"

"Impossible! I've seen it! I'm the smallest! It's all your fault!" Li Ping screamed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Cough... your family is quite open-minded." Fang Zheng Yi chuckled twice and stopped talking.

Only Li Ping's sobs remained in the prison cell.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong back then," Fang Zheng Yi said softly.

Li Ping was stunned in an instant, as if struck in the heart by a heavy hammer.

Apologized, he actually apologized on his own initiative? How could such an evil person apologize on his own initiative!

"Who the f*ck told you to apologize!" Li Ping shouted hoarsely, tears streaming from his eyes.

For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

An unprecedented complex experience was constantly churning.

Fang Zheng Yi sighed and said: "You were just a child back then, although you and I have different positions, I would never be so vicious as to kill a child."

"Today I'll save your life, consider it paying off the debt. You don't need to tell me Prince Wu's specific deployment, just answer a few harmless questions."

Fang Zheng Yi pondered for a moment and asked: "How did you invent gunpowder, that is, the core of your divine punishment weapon, and how is your father's health, how many bowls can he eat in one meal..."
